WHAT DID IT MEAN.

Sheriff Hays was very much surprised TO
receive few days ago telegram from the
sheriff at Wellington asking the amount
of the reward offered for the arrest of the
man who committed the murder on the
banks of the Chisholm creek-referring to
the Jack True case. The sheriff imma-
diately notified him of the reward offered
and said that True had been convicted of
the crime and was now serving out a sen
tence of five years in the state peniten-
tiary, adding that if he had any inforna-
ton TO give to send it Immediately. He
has, however, heard nothing since, and he.
as we'll as many others, have been wonder
ing if there are yet TO be some new deyel-
spments in this somewhat noted case.

NOT THE NAME.

In the announcement for Thanksgiving
services ON the South Sides, the church on
the corner of Topeka avenue and Lewis
street is called the German Reform"
church. The undersigned, pastor of the
church referred to, knows of no such name
of any denomination. Our name is simp-
" the Reformed Church, las it was named
in the 10Th century, Of which Zwingi and
Calvin were the leading representatives.
Though Swiss and German in origin, Ger
man is no part of our UNCONVENTIONAL
name. We are not modern reform body
but the old, historical Reformed Church.

Live Stock Boards Report.

The first report of the State livestock san-
tary board, covering a period from May l.,
1886, to December /, 1887, was sent to Gov.
Lloyd last week. Active work in the extir-
patton of contagious diseases was commenced
last August. The following animals have
been destroyed on account of pleuro pneumo-
MIA: By the State oficers-Diseased, %,
cost 1888; exposed, 294, cost S., 255. By the
United States bureau Of animal industry
Diseased, 1,476; cost S34, 301.71; exposed,
l,422, cost S37, 305.2 Total killed, 3,215;
total cost, S75,750. The State, moreover,
caused the total or partial destruction of
twenty-four buildings, at a cost of 81 ,643.47.
The disease was located in Baltimore city,
eight districts in Baltimore county, near An
napolis, Rhode and South rivers and Brook
Ign, Anne Arundel county, Prince Georges
county, near the District of Columbia, at
Hoods Mill, Howard county, at Smallwood
and Bird Hill, in Carroll county. The report
states that tuberculosis has prevailed in
greater or less degree in all the counties of
the State. Thirty four animals suffering from
this disease were killed at cost of $3.50.
Chambers has increased among horses, though
most of the recent cases can be traced to the
District of Columbia. Twenty-Five horses,
appraised at S552.50 were killed. The loses
in the State by swine plague or hog cholera
are very serious, and the annual loss amounts
to 100000. Inadequate appropriation pre-
vented attempts to stamp out the disease.
Sheep have been free from disease. Losses
have occurred on the Eastern Shore from the
passage through some of the counties of bod
les of cattle affected with Texas fever. The
report urges the Legislature to adopt some
plan by which the sale of consumptive meat
or the milk of diseased cows may be prevent
ed, and expresses the hope that pleuro pneu-
monia, which has existed in Maryland for 40
years, may soon be eradicated.

The B. and o. Mortgage.

The consolidated mortgage of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company to the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company of
Baltimore as trustee to secure $40, 600, 900

Baltimore City.
The bonds Dear FIVE per cent. interest,

with the Curtis Bay Branch, Locust Point

Christmas.

Among the most remarkable of times
changes is the metamorphosis of the Roman
iSaturnala into the Christmas of Christen-
dom. Nothing in Ovid excels it, or is more
strange or striking. Not even the sue
cession of day ard night marks stronger
contrast. It's one of the many proofs of the
amelioration of the condition of the human
race wrought out by the power and inhu-
ence of Christianity. Without further
attempt to elucidate the subject in this ar
ticle, we leave the reader to pursue the
contrarieties for himself, simply remarkiug
that the study is one appropriate to the sea-
son of Christmastide, and one that is inter
esting and profitable withal.
The recurrence of Christmas awakens
and calls into exercise sentiments and fee.-
ings altogether different from those Of any
other festival of the year. 1t has deeper
and stronger grasp upon the hearts and
minds of the people than any other, 1t is
a time for the exercise of the hearts best af-
fections, not only towards those who sur
round our own hearth-stones or are endeared
to us by the ties of kindred, but to all who
come within the circle Of our acquaintance,
and especially to the poor. If you want
to enjoy to the full the delights which clus-
ter around this hallowed season, remember
the poor. The joy which you inspire in
their bosoms by ministering to their wants
and necessities out of redundancy be-
slowed upon you by kind and bcnefcent
Providence, will well up in your own, and
you will fully realize that it is indeed
more blessed to give than to receive. 1t is
time for deeper religious farvor, for de-
vout thankfulness for the event which the
occasion commentaries, and for lively
hope and trust in the All-sustaining Arm
which upholds' the universe, and cheer
fitness and gladness which naturally spring
from a rational appreciation of the festival.
1t is not time for excess, by which the
senses are besotted and the moral and men,
tai being brought into degrading subsection
to appetite or a morbid craving, the indul-
gence of which is sure to work ill. Christ
mas was never intended to be celebrated
in such manner. 1t is the abuse and not
the rational use of this festival of festivals.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1887-12-24
The Quaker Poet.

John G. Whittier, the Quaker Poet, eel
ebrated his eightieth birthday on Saturday
last, the 18th instant. He wears the silver
diadem of old age, which has been declared
by competent authority to be ga crown of
glory" Full of years and full of honors,
he enjoys the "sunset of life" and the
mystical lore which that period confers,
if ever. The rank of Whittier, as devo-
tee of the Muses., scarcely approaches me-
diocrity, in the estimation of many compe-
tent judges. He never drank deep at the
fount of Helicon. He possesses not the
diriiae a61atus, but writes in a simple and
commonplace vein. He is regarded as much
inferior to Longfellow, Bryant, and host
of others, less known to fame. His mind
is not broad and expansive, but ''cribbed,
cabined, confined" by fanaticism, which is
sure to dwarf wherever it obtains possession.
As writer he does not measure up to the
standard of that other Quaker Poet, S. j.
Smith, the master of Hickory Grove" N.
j. who, though the subject of less notori-
ETY., was his superior both in prose and
verse. Mr.. Whittier belongs to that school
of acerbic writers represented by such types
as Wendell Phillips, Julia Ward Howe, and
others, who are nothing if not fanatical.
He achieved notoriety chiefly through such
fctions as Barbara Freitchie, just as Har-
riet Beecher Stowe did through her falla-
cious and misleading Uncle Toms Cabin.

Congress adjourned Thursday until Jan
uary 4th. In the Senate on Wednesday
on the holiday recess resolution, Senators
Plumb, Sherman, Teller and other Repub-
cans took occasion to discuss the Presidents
message on the treasury surplus and tariff
reduction. Senators Beck, Vest and But
Ter, on the Democratic side, made vigorous
and effective replies. The fact that Re-
publican leaders are eager to attack the
Presidents views is sufficient evidence of
the weight his message had with the coun-
try, and they are aware that if they do not
do something to counterfeit its influence,
Cleveland's election is as certain as any
thing human can be.
